< Psalms 75 >

1 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; we give thanks, for thy name is near: men tell of thy wondrous works.
`To the ouercomere; leese thou not the salm of the song of Asaph. God, we schulen knouleche to thee, `we schulen knouleche; and we schulen inwardli clepe thi name.
2 When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.
We schulen telle thi merueilis; whanne Y schal take tyme, Y schal deme riytfulnesses.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)
The erthe is meltid, and alle that duellen ther ynne; Y confermede the pileris therof.
4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
I seide to wickid men, Nyle ye do wickidli; and to trespassouris, Nyle ye enhaunce the horn.
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck.
Nyle ye reise an hiy youre horn; nyle ye speke wickidnesse ayens God.
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.
For nether fro the eest, nethir fro the west, nethir fro desert hillis; for God is the iuge.
7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
He mekith this man, and enhaunsith hym; for a cuppe of cleene wyn ful of meddling is in the hoond of the Lord.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine foameth; it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
And he bowide of this in to that; netheles the drast therof is not anyntischid; alle synneris of erthe schulen drinke therof.
9 But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Forsothe Y schal telle in to the world; Y schal synge to God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
And Y schal breke alle the hornes of synneris; and the hornes of the iust man schulen be enhaunsid.
